Speaking about the many programme run by Government of India to ensure better delivery of nutrition among vulnerable populations, she said: “Apart from government intervention, there is a pressing need for societal knowledge that requires engagement of young mothers on eating habits that helps to engrain the life cycle of better nutrition in a child.”

“Whether rich or poor, Indians do not feed their infants enough food” – Dr Vinod Kumar Paul, Member – Niti Aayog, Government of India Delivering the Professor C Gopalan Memorial Lecture at MSSRF, Chennai, on August 7, 2023, Dr Vinod Kumar Paul, Member – Niti Aayog, Government of India, urged that “Poorak Aahar or complementary feeding for babies is equally important to breastfeeding.” Quoting from the National Family Health Survey data (NFHS-5), he presented analysis showing that irrespective of economic status, children are not fed adequately. The Wealth Index data, he said, showed that just 68% of infants receive exclusive breastfeeding in India (poorest 67% , middle class 69% & richest 68%). Semisolids introduced in the diet of infants occurs between 6 and 8 months of age stands at 56% for the richest, middle class 51%, and 44% for the poorest. “Whether one is rich, or middle class or poor, does not make a difference is terms of how infants are fed in the country, and this could be one of the reasons why stunting (appropriate height-for-age) is not showing expected changes.” There is scope for improvement, as per the NFHS-5 data because there are states that have made positive changes – especially Odisha. Focus on complementary feeding and adequate diets for infants and children below five years must be a collective action and be behaviour change is key for progress.
